Rentry Changelog 2026

February 23rd

Updated comment extension to support anything inside the [], like it was before. See: rentry.co/comment-test
(org might be different for a few days while I switch the DNS over to a new provider, still need to carry out Feb 20th updates on main org server. Will remove this when done.)

February 20th

Updated server OS, Framework(Django), Code language (Python) + Markdown. Broke comments as they are no longer supported, but added a custom extension to enable them again.

February 16th

Added Request Mode to claims: check availability and make claim. Fixes issue with previous update where logged in users could not check claim availability as you can no longer remove your email.

February 3rd

Fixed a bug with claims that allowed logins to be used abusively
Removed code to email when claim fails due to multiple emails and replaced with breakdown of why the message is showing, also replacing the warning that showed previously.

January 27th

Fixed a bug with claims that allowed cancellations to be used abusively.
Added ability to grant claim credits to a specific user
Added Bitcoin address to /what - bitcoin donations can be converted to membership if you email about it beforehand.

January 26th

Export requests now show a captcha unless you are logged in as exports were being overwhelmed with bot requests.
/png and /pdf now load as normal pages rather than being used by the export system.

January 9th

The Export tool on Rentry has been fully overhauled! Requests are now queued and cached and will be available to download at any time. This means that the export won't keep breaking and causing problems.
Also added:

  • JPG Format
  • Webp Format
  • Quality Setting
  • Page Width Setting
  • Theme Setting (also takes note of ACCESS_RECOMMENDED_THEME)
  • Content warning support
